| Verdict | Dealcoholized American Cabernet under 0.5% ABV. Black plum, dark cherry, and cocoa in a light body, tart acid, modest tannin, a dry bitter close. | Dealcoholized California Cabernet with black cherry, dark berry, and mocha — smooth, medium-full, gently tannic, finishing on dark chocolate and tart cherry. | Research record |

| Likeness | The dark fruit reads as Cabernet. The structure does not: too light, too tart, not enough tannin to stand in for a full red. | Good: dark berry, mocha, and soft tannin stay in a Cabernet register rather than grape juice. | Research record |
